Story and Plot Pro is a comprehensive screenwriting program that combines structured courses with an active community to support writers at every stage of their journey. It is led by Tom Vaughan, a professional screenwriter of 29 years who has been teaching the subject for almost as long.

The program offers a suite of courses, including Mastering Structure, Idea to Outline, and Perfecting the Logline, designed to provide writers with a solid foundation in screenwriting principles.

These courses are taught through a series of video lessons, practical assignments, and real-world examples, ensuring that students can apply what they learn directly to their own projects.

Beyond the courses, Story and Plot Pro fosters a vibrant community of writers who engage in weekly live classes, workshops, and peer reviews. Members have access to forums where they can discuss challenges, share successes, and receive feedback from both peers and professionals.
